Main

Juan C. Sanchez-Arias, MD, PhD

Trained as medical doctor and neuroscientist, I’m currently investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying cardiac arrythmias and seizures associated with a novel genetic variant in an ion channel adapter protein combinng model organism research, clinical genetics, bio-informatics, and computational modelling.
